Midnight Sun Whale Watching in Húsavík

Sail into a vivid sunset over Skjálfandi bay and watch in awe as whales make their way up to the surface to greet you.

Known as the “Whale Capital” of Iceland, Húsavík is the perfect setting for a beautiful evening on the sea. The midnight sun whale tour is a unique opportunity only available in the months of June and July when the daylight lingers for 24 hours here in Iceland. In prime conditions, the sea goes completely still while the sun descends upon the horizon. This peaceful scenery is made even more magical as the whale species of the area quietly swim around you.

With minimal traffic from other boats and only 12 passengers on board, you have an intimate look at the world below. Blue whales, Humpback whales, and Mink whales are a few of the whale species you can find. This 2-hour whale watching ride will take you as close as you can get! With expert commentary, warm water-resistant overalls, and a speedy RIB boat, you can truly sit back and enjoy.
